Ace of Aces [ON HOLD]

Chapter 4: Let's have fun

Wonyoung: Unnie~ Wakey wakey~ it is time to wake up now~ if you don't then I will kiss you~

I opened my eyes to see Wonyoung puckering out her lips as she looked at me. When she saw that I was awake she gave me a wink before joining me in the bed and hugging me.

Wonyoung: Took you long enough to wake up unnie.

Jahoon: Well, who won't after being awake all night, and by the way, where is Hyewon?

Wonyoung: I see you are already missing Hyewon unnie so bad even though you have just woken up but she is in the dining room eating breakfast right now, so that is why she asked me to wake you up. Come on unnie! Let's get up! It seems like Hyewon unnie has something in the plan for you so you better hurry up!

Wonyoung sprung back on her feet and shot me a wink before she hurriedly left the room. I sat up in the bed and ran a hand through my hair in confusion. I just shrugged my shoulders and got up to get myself ready. I shouldn't be letting Hyewon wait for me well? I got out of the room and made my way to the dining room to see Hyewon sitting there with Yuri, Wonyoung, and Chaeyeon. Wonyoung noticed that I was there and gave me a wink. I just rolled my eyes playfully at her and sat down right beside Chaeyeon.

Chaeyeon: Good morning Jahoon! Do you want some breakfast? I have just made pancakes, waffles, eggs, and bacon.

Jahoon: Sure unnie! I'm ready for everything because I have to admit that I woke up hungry.

Chaeyeon: You are just like Hyewon. You are a wonderful match for each other. No wonder why you are still in her room up until now. Normally if she doesn't like you, you will already be thrown out of her room.

Chaeyeon placed a plate in front of me as she winked. I just stared down at it in embarrassment but I looked up to glance at Hyewon to see her cheeks become slightly pink. Did she perhaps like me too? Wait a moment! Who said that I liked her? I didn't like her like that at all... don't look at me. I could hear Chaeyeon chuckling before bursting into a laugh with Wonyoung and Yuri, making my cheeks become even more heated up than they already were. I grabbed my fork and began stuffing my cheeks up like a squirrel to hide my embarrassment. After eating for a while and chatting with the girls, I finished eating and got outside with Hyewon. She placed her hands in her pockets as she walked while looking straight in front of her.

Hyewon: I'm sorry if Chaeyeon made you a little uncomfortable back there. She didn't intend any harm to it, it is just how she usually is. She likes to tease people a lot and it became a habit for her, that is why she also teased you.

Jahoon: Don't worry about it. I know that she didn't mean any harm. Actually... I kind of like it.

Hyewon stopped up and turned around to face me confusingly. I walked up to her and stood by her side, giving her a genuine smile that I haven't used for a long time now.

Jahoon: I don't mind her teasing me at all. It makes me feel like I'm a part of you guys and not like an outcast that I have been feeling my whole life.

I looked Hyewon into her eyes and saw something shift before turning back to normal. She was the type of person to try and not show her emotional side.

Hyewon: Well...Good for you then...also it is the whole purpose of the group after all except for stealing. The group has always been there for people like us, people that have been outcasted by their own family or maybe from the orphanage and also been outcasted from the society as the "imperfect" one. It has been made so that we also can be a part of something even though some people may think we are doing something illegal, which I don't think because we let people see the beauty of things... just not the real one and I would more consider myself as a Robin Hood than a thief.

We continued walking down the streets as we looked at the different stands and stores that were up for people to buy from. The places that we mostly went to were stores and stalls filled with food because food is life after all. I glanced over at Hyewon and giggled at her. She looked at me with a raised eyebrow like she was asking what was wrong.

Jahoon: It really does seem like you love food. Look at how messy you are eating!

Hyewon: Oh!

Hyewon reached her hand up to wipe it away but I quickly stopped her.

Jahoon: You are just going to smear it even more across your face. Here let me do it.

I grabbed a tissue and reached over to wipe the stain away from her face.

Hyewon: I... I think... you don't have to be this close to wiping...

I blinked my eyes at her in confusion but quickly blushed when I noticed how close we were. I had moved to only be a few inches away from her face! I quickly sat down in my chair and looked elsewhere than at her. We sat there in silence for a while as we kept eating our food because neither of us knew what to do or say.

Hyewon: Do you...do you...why can't I say it?

I turned to look at Hyewon who was grumbling to herself about something. I just looked at her giving her some time. After grumbling to herself for a while she turned to look me straight in the eyes but I could see how nervous she was.

Hyewon: Do your perhaps.... Like me? Not just like but...like like?

I stared at her in shock. I didn't know how to respond. Did I like her like that or did I just like her as a friend?

Jahoon: I... I...don't know...

Mumbled but loudly enough for Hyewon to hear. I looked down at the table in embarrassment since I couldn't give her a clear answer. I felt like I was giving her some mixed signs that maybe was making her uncomfortable. That is why she was asking me that. I saw a hand appear in my eyesight and saw it grabbing my hand. I looked up to see Hyewon smiling slightly at me.

Hyewon: It's fine. You don't have to give me an answer if you don't know yourself. I won't push you. You can tell me whenever you want, even if it is that you dislike me. If you excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom.

Hyewon stood up from her seat as she made her way to the bathroom. The only thing that I could do was watch her back leaving me. I sighed and plopped my head into my hands. Now I probably have made her extremely sad and she won't be acting the same way towards me again because of stupid me. I was sitting grumbling with myself over the situation when someone suddenly held what felt like a cloth over my mouth and nose and before I knew it and could do anything, everything went black.
